Does anyone watch TOWIE?

[fruitshootsandheaves]

We were out at a posh place last night and they were filming there. The DC's were a bit starstruck (even thou they don't watch it) DD, DS and DD2 got a picture with one of the cast but I have no idea who anyone was, we watched from a balcony trying to spot the 'stars' amongst the extra's but I got bored after 2 seconds 10 minutes

I love TOWIE - it's so bad it's compelling!

I think the DC's will all watch it tonight and Wednesday to see if they can spot the bits they saw filmed!

It is very addictive - kind of insight into the popular, cool kids when they left school!

I love it and am ashamed.

Same here. I know its all made up but I can help myself. I need to talk about gemma and mario and lauren but in rl all my friends pretend not to watch it and make me talk about interest rates and politics...

Can't , even

The DC's had their pic taken with Joey, I wouldn't have known who he was even if he'd had a name tag on! DD said "ooh he smelt Gooood"

Ahhhhh, joey is probably the most exciting one for the dcs to meet

My aunt lives in that part of Essex, round the corner from mark and Jessica's mum. She oftens sees them, and Arg and Joey, in Chigwell and Loughton.

Her local is the King William pub where a lot of stuff is filmed.

It's great fun visiting her, I get neck strain from looking out car windows trying to see if I can spot anyone

Omg I am sooooo jealous. Dh sister lives in essex and refuses to take me anywhere near there. Poor lauren. Says exactly the opposite of how things are.

I am not watching it at the moment - DP refuses

I like Lauren G - bless her. I wish she would see the light about Mark who is vile.

Lydia and her mum have really grown on me.

Lucy is very strange.

And Joey and Gemma make me roar.

Pathetically grateful emoticon
Lydia and mum lovely
Joey very sweet
Gemma a bit nuts
Lauren g creating a little group of the left out ones - mark is just very immature.
Lucy a bit odd. Kirk then mark then horrible mario.
Phew.

Loved tonight's episode...go Lauren

I'm so jel, I love Joey.
A Mumsnetter got me the signed Towie book a few months back. I love it.
Mark's leaving and going in the jungle apparently.

lovie towie - pure trash but fab

Wonder if amys new show will be any good?

I'm addicted. I love the dynamic between Lydia, Arg and Lydia's mum. I like it that Lydia doesn't need to paint herself orange and get fake boobs and that she loves Arg for the way he is.

Lauren G is better off without that egotisical twat, who I've heard is leaving TOWIE to go into IACGMOOH?

I absolutly hate it. I just don't see the point, as it is all so wooden and scripted.

Dd1 absolutly loves it, and I am not even allowed to breathe when it's on.

Because i am a loving mother, i have got he the box set for her birthday and an essex handbook.

I think it will be strange without Mark though. I always thought of him as the, sort of, main character.

He's a big headed twat but he's funny at times!

I love TOWIE and I don't care about admitting it. I made DH sit with me while it was on once, he said he couldn't believe he was married to someone who would watch such a pile of shite .

It beats Made In Chelsea hands down

Yes WanderingSheep he is funny at times and I'd definitely fancy him if I'd only seen pictures and never heard him speak. Same goes for Mario, I'd fancy him if he wasn't such a cock.

Actually I shouldn't fancy any of them, I keep forgetting they are only in their early 20's! I should fancy Mick

Mick's lovely, he could take me fishing anytime!

I love love love it!!

Wed night ep was so good. I was crying with laughter at mark and arg when they were at the salon having tans.

Arg and Lydia are so lovely they're the kind of couple you want good things to happen to.

I'm glad Sam told Mark that she didn't want to be with him. He needs taking down a peg.

Don't like Lucy or Mario, too big for their boots, esp M.

Gemma is so funny and I think more clever than they make her out to be.

Joey and Chloe are insanely stupid they make me laugh.

I could talk about it for hours but I'll stop now
